Police ...

I'm wondering what would have happened if a June bug or similar hit him in the face (or even face shield) at those speeds... or if a car changed lanes as he was passing... or if he hit a chunk of truck tire lying in the road.

Hope they find him. He is a reason why we all have to pay so much for insurance. If you want to drive like that go to the track but why put others in danger. Yes was "cool" but also very stupid and inconsiderate.

The problem is inocent people could have been hurt.
He could have been hurt and who gets to pay his hospital bills?
The police have to waste time and resouces looking for him.
The rider that got a thrill out of it will attempt it again and will run out of luck at some point.
we all have to carry a fair amount of insurance for uninsured or under insured because of people like that.

Caretaker, that's insane. Back in the years that nothing could possibly happen to me, I had one up to 110 mph. I can't say that it wasn't fun and that was more than fast enough considering how twisty the road was. Only happened once and I never pulled that kind of stuff when there was any other people around to hurt either. The older I got, the more I liked the cruisers and to "smell the roses" as I rode so to speak. The problem with the racers is how fun they are to ride, for short periods that is, and taking corners is effortless. I think it would be a blast taking one of those babies to a track.

No matter how good a rider they are (think they are) that's awfully trusting of everyone else on the road. Get thee to a track. Of course the faster you go, the less time there is for any one driver's actions to mess you up.
